Got the PS3 version of this from LionheartDJH, awesome game! Just started a RTTS mode, got drafted by the Detroit Tigers and not doing too badly in AA at the moment.

Which control scheme is best for hitting? I'm using the analogue mode at the moment, very tricky though. The reaction times for each pitch are very unforgiving, fractions of a second, fastballs are even harder to hit!

I'm great at Pitching, but I find Batting hard, even after years of playing. I thinks it's because I usually play late and after a few beers...
I nearly always use X, and try and focus behind the glove to pick the pitch. Have tunnel vision and only press X when you 'see' it going down the middle. Leave everything else. If you get ahead in the count the pitcher is more likely to throw it down the middle. All easier said than done I know..

PS. MLB The Show is the best video game of all time imo, so I hope you're enjoying it.

I know what you're saying but pitching is awesome. A total strategic duel. Trying to get through a game without losing any runs is extremely difficult. Essentially what Baseball is all about.

I guess it's a totally different game than batting, which makes both fantastic. I prefer out-psyching a batter though.

That said, you can't beat twoking a home run. It's so difficult to do...

I have 2 RTTS games, but play em 70/30 in favour of my Pitcher I think. Main reason is perhaps because I'm playing at times like now, late and after I've had a few. If I could do batting at 8.30 on a weekday morning instead of going to work, I'm sure I'd be a master at it by now.
